b.collins Studio

The ladies from the book club and I had a wonderful time painting the Treedazle painting. I love the location and the technique she uses to teach you how to paint the picture.

Beverly was an amazing teacher and made this experience very memorable!!!
I highly recommend this for all groups and friends. Great studio with plenty of room for ten or more.
Beverly sent us a link afterwards with all of the pictures she took throughout the night of our work!
I had so much fun learning different painting techniques!!! So fun!

Had a great double date here. Chill music in the background and byo wine and snacks made for a very enjoyable evening. Beverly was very nice and patient teaching us how to paint and even took pictures for us and put it in a YouTube video and sent us the link afterward! Will definitely come again.

This place is AWESOME! You can bring your own beverages and snacks while Beverly teaches you how to paint. Its really amazing how she makes you flip the painting upside down at first and then lets you paint on it right side up! She’s very patient and sweet!
When i was done, I couldn’t believe almost 2.5 hrs had passed! All my friends said they had a blast and would love to do it again!
There is only street parking, but some of her classes are in the nighttime so that won’t be a big problem!
I can’t wait to do this again!

I went here for a friend’s bday and we all had a great time. Ms. Collins is patient and comes around and offers one on one instruction. The process does take time, but it is a lot of fun. The studio can be easily missed and parking can be a bit of a challenge. Ms. Collins played some great music as well so everyone could get their creative juices flowing. Overall, I would recommend trying out at least once.

My girls and I had bought livingsocial deals and had a great time at Beverly’s studio. We read that you have to feed the meter if you park around the area so we walked with our wine, cheese and crackers. We arrived early at her studio and it was clean with many paintings up for display. The three of us chose different paintings and Bev constantly went around giving us tips. It was very casual and we had a great time. We even received a youtube video of our time there with pictures she took. She is great! We are planning to come back with more girls next time :) Thanks Bev !

I had a very good experience here at Beverly’s studio. Even if you don’t know how to hold a brush. Go there, go… Grab your friends, bottle of vine cheese and GO! 100% you will have fun. I did!!!
Beverly is very nice and friendly, she will tell you what to do, step by step. But she still leave some room for your creativity. She will make you feel like home. very relaxing and friendly atmosphere. The process by itself takes any thoughts and an anxiety away.
I highly recommend to visit this place and really want to go back soon!!!

I rarely give 5 Stars, but this was definitely a very positive experience, so I will give it 4 – 4.5 stars. I attended my first wine & paint Thanksgiving weekend at Beverly’s studio and didn’t know what to expect. I showed up early and parked a block away so I wouldn’t have to use metered parking (I do, wish they had a few free spots for the location, but there is plenty of metered street parking available). I was the first to arrive & was greeted warmly by Ms. Collins & we began to engage in conversation regarding our Thanksgivings, etc while waiting for 3 other ppl. We ended up chatting so freely that we lost track of time and started our session a bit late (the other ppl never showed.) So lucky me – my first paint experience and I had a private lesson! Beverly was good about giving a bit of history about the paint and wine experience (not necessary, but I still found it interesting) and was detailed in describing how (& why!) to approach the project I was going to be working on that evening.
Overall Pros:
— Great conversation
— Somewhat relaxing environment
— Great artistic guidance
— Plenty of colors/​materials to use
— (Even though it’s bring your own refreshments) she was kind enough to offer me a couple glasses of wine she had from her holiday weekend (Moscato-​yum!)
— She was flexible (from my experience) with letting me change a few colors in the piece to suit my likes/​wants
— I ran 1.5 hours over the planned end time and she didn’t rush me, although I did pick up my painting pace (my bad!); she just politely kept me informed of the time periodically.
— Ended up with a painting I was very proud of, looked amazing, & I was excited to hang on a wall to display.
— I like supporting local, independent, neighborhood businesses
Cons:
— Parking leaves something to be desired
— It’s on the Westside of town (so not ideal for me, but could be for others)
— May need to leave a bit more painting time in general for larger parties of ppl.
Overall I really enjoyed my experience, I love the painting & have received compliments on it since! If I’m ever back on that side of town & feel the urge to paint, I’d definitely go again.

My sisters and I had a great time. Love the opportunity to do something different. Wish parking was better but it was sufficient. Got great prices on Black Friday. Will be back!

This has become my favorite spot to hang out at after a long week at work.
I’ve done 3 paintings to far and plan to do a few more.
Ms Beverly takes the time to explain the history of how Sip and Paint started and she takes the time to help you when you feel like giving up because the painting is not coming out how you envisioned it in your head.
It’s a great idea for Girls Night Out, Couples, Families and more, you will NOT be disappointed when you attend one of her Paint and Sip sessions.

Recently attended a paint and sip event here. it was not fun. Beverly was Not accomidating or friendly. She wasted our paint time giving the business history of the paint and sip concept? then rushed us along to accommodate the next group that wasn’t starting for 4 more hours. Beverly was very bossy and controling in relation to our artistic concept and ability. For an artist she is not very open minded. Parking was horrible, the meter officer waited for meters to run out so she could give out tickets. There are many wine and sip locations that offer more for your money like Wine and Canvas in Pasadena.

What a great way to spend an evening doing something that you know you aren’t too good at! I have never been an artistic person; my whole life I have struggled with creativity and artistic expression. Tonight though, my girlfriend signed us up to paint Monet’s Water Lilies at b. collins studio in Los Angeles and it was definitely an experience I will never forget. Beverly Collins, the owner of the studio is such an angel! She took us step by step through the process of painting this piece of art and was extremely understanding of my lack of artistic skill — she made suggestions and we also laughed together at some of my «unique» ways of approaching this work of art.
It absolutely recommend this place for a date night with your significant other or even and night alone by your self to unwind. The paintings you will be working on will vary by evening, so make sure to call ahead and reserve your spot!
We will definitely be back again! Thank You Beverly!
** I would also like to clarify that this place IS good for kids. The event (wine and art) that we went to tonight is not but Beverly has kids painting classes every Saturday Morning!
